CBEST exam prep
Walk into the CBEST calm, prepared and ready to pass
Our CBEST prep covers all three sections of the test. You will work through reading and math questions that explain every answer choice, take full-length timed practice tests that feel like the real thing, and practice both kinds of essays with a clear scoring guide and model responses at every score level.
What's included
- 325 original reading, mathematics and writing-skills questions across the practice banks, full-length tests and drill, each with an explanation for every answer choice, not just the right one
- Two full-length timed practice tests that mirror the real sections: Reading (50 questions, 90 minutes) and Mathematics (50 questions, 120 minutes)
- A free 25-question diagnostic that shows your strongest and weakest skill areas before you start
- A targeted 30-question drill on multi-step math problems and critical reading, two areas many test takers find challenging
- Essay practice for the Writing section: four prompts (analytical and personal experience), a 4-point scoring guide, and model responses at every score point with notes on why each earns its score
- Six months of access from the day you buy, with one payment and no subscription
Every question is original and written to the official content outline for this exam, with an explanation for every answer. These are practice questions, not real exam questions. Not sure yet? Take the free CBEST diagnostic first.

Is this a subscription?
No. The CBEST 6-Month Pass is a single payment of $9.99. It gives you six months of access and never renews.
Are these real CBEST questions?
No. Every question is original and written to the official CBEST test specifications. Each one explains why the correct answer is right and why each of the other choices is not.
How long are the practice tests?
They match the real sections. The Reading practice test has 50 questions with a 90-minute timer, and the Mathematics practice test has 50 questions with a 120-minute timer.
How does essay practice work?
Pick a prompt and write your essay first. Then open the scoring guide and the model responses at each score level, decide which one your essay is closest to, and revise. Your essay stays on your device.
Can I use a calculator?
The CBEST does not allow a calculator, so our math questions are written to be solved without one.
